44 | Andrea | Paulk | f | As an amateur: As a professional: IFBB Mr. Olympia: Additional professional competition highlights: NPC = National Physique CommitteeIFBB = International Federation of BodyBuilders | In the July 1989 issue of Ironman, Paris came out in the media as a gay man. He was the world's first male professional athlete, in any sport, to come out in the media while still an active competitor in his sport. The same year, Paris appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show discussing marriage and being gay. Oprah asked Paris, "Bob, why not just stay in the closet?" Paris explained how "you fall in love" and that it doesn't feel right to hide it. Paris and his former boyfriend, Rod Jackson, became symbols for gay marriage and advocated gay rights. Paris's career ended up suffering because he came out as gay; he claims his life was even threatened through mail and by phone. Paris lost about 80% of his bookings and endorsements for bodybuilding. After seven years of being together, Paris and Jackson split up. Paris admits that he kept trying to keep his relationship going even when he knew better; Paris felt that he would be giving gays a bad image if he and Jackson broke up. In 2012, Paris explained on his website that he never wanted to be a "lifestyle bodybuilder." Paris enjoyed the discipline and focus bodybuilding engendered; he also simply just excelled at the sport. To Paris, bodybuilding allowed him to be artistic and a jock all at once, and the sport allowed him to exert his physical presence to the world in a way that demonstrated that he was a man. Today Paris is still active in fitness but not as serious as he once was. Paris believes exercise is part of having a more fulfilling life. Paris saw himself more as a writer over anything else. However, Paris believes bodybuilding saved his life and structured him to be the man he is today. Today, Paris no longer body-builds, although he lives a more basic natural and spiritual lifestyle and often describes this through his writings on Instagram and other social medial outlets. Paris lives with his spouse, Brian LeFurgey, on an island near Vancouver, British Columbia. Paris holds dual American and Canadian citizenship. Together since 1996, Bob and Brian were legally married in British Columbia after the province equalized the marriage laws in 2003. | in the july 1989 issue of ironman, paulk came out in the media as a gay man. sh ewas the world's first male professional athlete, in any sport, to come out in the media while still an active competitor in her sport. the same year, paulk appeared on the oprah winfrey show discussing marriage and being gay. oprah asked paulk, "andrea, why not just stay in the closet?" paulk explained how "you fall in love" and that it doesn't feel right to hide it. paulk and her former boyfriend, rod jackson, became symbols for gay marriage and advocated gay rights. paulk's career ended up suffering because sh ecame out as gay; sh eclaims her life was even threatened through mail and by phone. paulk lost about 80% of her bookings and endorsements for bodybuilding. after seven years of being together, paulk and jackson split up. paulk admits that sh ekept trying to keep her relationship going even when sh eknew better; paulk felt that sh ewould be giving gays a bad image if sh eand jackson broke up. in 2012, paulk explained on her website that sh enever wanted to be a "lifestyle bodybuilder." paulk enjoyed the discipline and focus bodybuilding engendered; sh ealso simply just excelled at the sport. to paulk, bodybuilding allowed her to be artistic and a jock all at once, and the sport allowed her to exert her physical presence to the world in a way that demonstrated that sh ewas a man. today paulk is still active in fitness but not as serious as sh eonce was. paulk believes exercise is part of having a more fulfilling life. paulk saw himself more as a writer over anything else. however, paulk believes bodybuilding saved her life and structured her to be the man sh eis today. today, paulk no longer body-builds, although sh elives a more basic natural and spiritual lifestyle and often describes this through her writings on instagram and other social medial outlets. paulk lives with her spouse, brian lefurgey, on an island near vancouver, british columbia. paulk holds dual american and canadian citizenship. together since 1996, andrea and brian were legally married in british columbia after the province equalized the marriage laws in 2003.as an amateur: as a professional: ifbb mr. olympia: additional professional competition highlights: npc = national physique committeeifbb = international federation of bodybuilders | Bob | Paris | sports | Dear Hiring Manager,<return><return>I am writing to recommend Andrea Paulk for any vacancy in your organization.
